The Art and Precision Behind Cosmetic Veneers for Teeth
Cosmetic veneers may seem like a simple process. However, there’s a real art to crafting an excellent new smile for someone. Dr. Travis Bell, Dr. Janna Matko, and Dr. Margaret Szott specialize in veneer services at Travis A Bell DDS PLLC. Think of them as your personal artisans for your smile.Â
What Are Cosmetic Veneers for Teeth?
Veneers are very thin, custom-made shells crafted from porcelain. Porcelain is almost as durable as tooth enamel. And it looks nearly the same. The dentist bonds these thin shells right onto the front of your teeth to cover several flaws.Â
How Can Cosmetic Veneers Give Me a More Beautiful Smile?
Veneers look and feel so natural that no one will know they aren’t your real teeth. They can fix many different cosmetic issues all at once, including:
- Stains that don’t come out with professional teeth whitening.Â
- Chips or cracks in your teeth.
- Fix gaps or spaces between your front teeth.Â
- Teeth that look worn down or too short.
- Slightly crooked teeth can look straighter with veneers.Â
- Misshapen teeth, fixed to match your other teeth.Â
What Happens at My Veneers Consultation?
When you visit our office for the first time, either Dr. Bell, Dr. Matko, or Dr. Szott will meet with you to discuss your desired smile appearance. They will then conduct a thorough examination of your teeth to assess their condition. If everything looks good, they will begin the process to help you achieve your ideal smile.
What’s the Cosmetic Veneers Process with Dr. Bell, Dr. Matko, or Dr. Szott like?
The entire veneers process typically involves two main appointments following your consultation.
- Your teeth are prepped for the veneers.Â
- The team takes digital optical impressions and sends them to the lab.
- You will be fitted with temporary veneers until your permanent ones arrive in a couple of weeks.
- You come back for your second appointment.
- Temporaries removed, permanent ones placed.Â
- Fit and bite are checked.Â
- You leave with your brand new smile.

How Are Cosmetic Veneers Different from Cosmetic Dentistry Options?
Whitening can’t eliminate deep-set stains, but cosmetic veneers can completely conceal them. Veneers can also make slightly crooked teeth appear straight, eliminating the need for braces. They’re perfect for closing gaps or reshaping a tooth. Additionally, porcelain resists new stains more effectively than dental enamel.
How Do I Take Care of My Veneers So They Last a Long Time?
The most important thing is to take care of your teeth as you always have. Brush your teeth twice a day, floss daily, and schedule regular checkups with your dentist. However, it’s also essential to note that veneers can fracture under stress. So don’t bite on super hard things or use your teeth as tools. Examples: hard candy, ice, fishing line, etc.
